76: A blockbuster

“What do you mean?” Master Fulong asked, puzzled.

Liu Jiangyi said calmly, “Because you and I are both Martial Artists. Our skin’s resistance is strong enough to block the radiation from this Golden Core.”

“However, the eyes lack skin protection, so when directly facing the radiation, it enters the body, causing one to vomit blood.”

“If it were an ordinary person, this strong radiation would be fatal. But because a Martial Artist’s body is robust, after being affected by the radiation and vomiting blood, as long as they look away in time, the Spiritual Qi in their body will naturally repair the body.”

“This is why staring at the Golden Core for too long, while causing you to vomit blood, will not fundamentally harm you.”

Hiss!

His words left everyone below speechless.

They stared blankly at Master Fulong and Liu Jiangyi, unsure whether his words were true or false.

Science was not non-existent in Tianjiang City.

However, due to the prevalence of the Dao of Martial Arts, science had gradually declined.

Aside from the previously developed technologies that humans still used, very few people would research scientific matters anymore.

Master Fulong’s expression was grave.

He wanted to refute, but Liu Jiangyi’s words were logical and seemed to have no loopholes.

After a long while, Master Fulong thought of something. “You say the Heaven-Defying power within my Golden Core is radiation. Where does this radiation come from?”

“None of the Materials I used to refine this Golden Core have any radiation!”

Liu Jiangyi said, “Refining a Golden Light Pill requires meteoric iron, so you must have added a meteorite when you refined this Medicinal Pill, right?”

“You know that!?” Master Fulong was stunned.

“I said this is a Golden Light Pill, so of course, I know what Spirit Medicine it’s made from.”

Liu Jiangyi directly recited the Pill Formula for the Golden Light Pill.

“How about it? The Spirit Medicine I mentioned and the Spirit Medicine you used to refine the Golden Light Pill should be identical, right?”

Master Fulong was already too shocked to speak.

The surrounding crowd was not foolish either.

After seeing this, they immediately understood that everything Liu Jiangyi had said before was well-founded!

The contempt in their eyes when they looked at Liu Jiangyi had vanished.

But neither they nor Master Fulong understood how a perfectly good Medicinal Pill could produce radiation?

After a long while.

Master Fulong voiced this question.

Liu Jiangyi explained, “The meteorite you used has a problem.”

“You mean the meteorite I used contains radiation?” Master Fulong asked, puzzled. “But I inspected that meteorite before refining the Medicinal Pill. It was just ordinary meteoric iron. How could it have radiation?”

“Meteorites come in various types, and because of the different places they have traveled through, it is not impossible for them to contain radiation.”

“Furthermore, depending on the material and the type of radiation, if I’m not mistaken, the radiation within this meteorite likely requires special conditions to be activated.”

“And when you performed Alchemy, you just happened to meet the conditions for this radiation to be activated, thus leading to the so-called Pill Tribulation and this Heaven-Defying power.”

As he finished speaking.

Master Fulong seemed to age a hundred years in an instant, his straight back immediately hunching.

It was no wonder he reacted so strongly.

He had believed that after this Medicinal Pill, he would enter the ranks of Eighth-Rank Alchemists and become a true Alchemy Great Master.

He would soon have the qualification to go to Middle City.

But who would have thought!

Everything was actually an illusion, a joke?

Even more ridiculous was that he had orchestrated such a grand ceremony and made a fool of himself in front of so many people.

This blow could even damage his Dao Heart!

“You are the true Great Master; I am merely a clown…”

Master Fulong gave a bitter laugh, stepped forward, grabbed the Golden Light Pill, and was about to crush it!

“Wait!”

Liu Jiangyi stopped Master Fulong.

“Why are you stopping me, junior brother?” Master Fulong said bitterly, “This radiation-containing garbage is harmful to the human body and has made me a clown. I want to destroy it!”

“Oh, no rush.”

Liu Jiangyi smiled and shook his head. “This is a Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pill, after all, and it contains Master Fulong’s countless efforts. Wouldn’t it be a pity to destroy it like this?”

“I have a way to salvage it.”

Liu Jiangyi held out his hand and quietly looked at Master Fulong.

The System’s mission success prompt had not yet appeared.

That meant he hadn’t been sufficiently stunning.

So Liu Jiangyi had to continue performing.

Master Fulong looked puzzled. “A Medicinal Pill that’s ruined is ruined. I’ve never heard of a way to salvage it. Are you truly not making fun of me?”

“Do I need to do that?” Liu Jiangyi’s expression was calm.

Master Fulong’s Face showed embarrassment.

Yes.

Master Fulong had already lost all his Face. If Liu Jiangyi merely wanted to embarrass Master Fulong, then his goal had already been achieved.

Thinking of this, Master Fulong handed the Golden Light Pill to Liu Jiangyi.

Liu Jiangyi took the Medicinal Pill, then held it up and stared at it for a long time.

This scene directly stunned everyone below the stage!

“Holy cow! He actually dares to look directly at the Golden Light Pill?”

“Didn’t he say this Golden Light Pill has radiation and shouldn’t be observed up close? Why is he fine?”

“Could it be that he’s different from ordinary people?”

“A strong one! He is definitely a strong one!”

“I can’t even sense the Qi of his cultivation. Could he be a Grandmaster?”

A gasp of astonishment went through the crowd.

That’s right!

No matter how strong the radiation, there had to be a limit.

Although this radiation could affect even a Ninth-Rank Martial Artist.

But Liu Jiangyi was a Grandmaster at the ninth layer!

Not to mention he also had Heaven-Defying eye techniques like Tsukuyomi and unique skills like Thousand-Mile Eyes, all of which could increase the strength of his naked eye.

Therefore, a small amount of radiation simply could not affect Liu Jiangyi.

Master Fulong, seeing Liu Jiangyi disregard the radiation so completely, was also inwardly startled.

He had just been guessing what kind of person Liu Jiangyi was, given his eyesight.

Now it seemed!

He was most likely from Middle City!

After a simple observation, Liu Jiangyi suddenly raised his hand and tossed the Golden Light Pill into the air.

He formed a hand seal with his right hand and pointed sharply.

Bang!

The next moment, the Golden Light Pill actually shattered directly, turning into a sky full of fine powder.

“Ah? Wasn’t he going to remove the radiation? Why did he break the Medicinal Pill?”

Liu Jiangyi ignored everyone’s confusion, formed another hand seal, and pointed at the sky. A bolt of heavenly lightning fell, then heavily struck the powder mist.

Then a purple flame spontaneously ignited, instantly enveloping all the falling powder mist.

Clap, clap, clap…

A series of explosions occurred within the flame.

About five minutes later, the shattered powder mist actually began to condense again.

At the same time, the Medicinal Pill’s fragrance that permeated the surroundings began to slowly dissipate.

“The Medicinal Pill’s fragrance is contained! This means the Medicinal Pill is forming!”

“Holy shit! Purple lightning fire? This is Heavenly Fire! He actually knows Heavenly Fire? He must be a powerful figure from Middle City!”

“He can perform Alchemy without a Pill Furnace, and even re-forge a Medicinal Pill? As expected of a powerful figure from Middle City!”

“Powerful figures from Middle City are indeed free-spirited, dressed so casually. We were truly blind not to recognize him!”

“No wonder this person dared to show Master Fulong so little Face; he truly has the strength!”
